Postponing elections.

In the event of an emergency resulting from enemy attack, the
governor, his successor, or interim successor, shall, when in his judgment the
public interest requires, postpone any state or local election for a period not
exceeding six months. When, because of conditions resulting from an enemy
attack, a scheduled election is not held or scheduled appointments cannot be
made, the elected or appointed incumbents of affected offices, or their
emergency interim successors, shall continue to hold office until their
successors are elected or appointed and duly qualified.
